Episode 54: Blessing your Persecutors


Listen Later

In this episode, The Bible teaches us to bless and love our persecutors, rather than cursing them. We are called to be patient, understanding, and compassionate towards them. This instruction is found in Romans 12:14 and Matthew 5:43-46, where Jesus encourages us to bless those who curse us and pray for those who persecute us. This attitude stems from the teachings of Jesus during the Sermon on the Mount, emphasizing love and forgiveness even towards our enemies. By responding with blessings, we may have the opportunity to lead our persecutors to repentance. This aligns with the Gospel message and the example set by Jesus on the cross when He prayed for His persecutors' forgiveness (Luke 23:34). Ultimately, enduring persecution for the sake of righteousness is rewarded, as mentioned in Matthew 5:10-12 and 1 Peter 2:20.
